Hannah
utterly adored Julian as a new kitten, but now that the little cat
returns her affections, she doesn't know what to do with him.

At
the zoo, we always go straight to the otters, but today, all of the
animals were cooperating, so we'd already seen some pretty good
mountain goats, bears, and eagles. (5/19/25)

The
only animal that wasn't out when we came by was the tiger, so we swung

around all over the dog park, and Avery much prefers this game.

All tired out but totally
uninterested in going to bed. (5/21/25)

cloth make a better water filter and learned that not only is the cloth
more effective, it's also faster and loses less water to absorption.
Science! (5/29/25)
